My excitement for WASM has nothing to do with speed or efficiency of the runtime. It's all about finally having a universal compile target for the web. We're finally going to be able to develop web apps in a proper language of our own choosing, without needing hacks like TypeScript.
Hopefully, this will lead to real dedicated IDE tooling and standardized libraries for the web along the lines of what's available in iOS and Android native development.
